Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Emperor Ming was a little hesitant and stretched out his hand to take it. When he took it, he found that it was a bit heavy. He could only take it with both hands: "This black lump is quite heavy. How did you come up with this thing with your brain?"

Jiang Li pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Father, don't worry about it. Let's go and give it a try. If it works, you can find a place for me to continue the experiment."

"Make more landmines. In the future, if anyone dares to attack Qi Kingdom, we can use landmines to kill them even if we don't have enough troops."

"This... is called a land mine. It's a very special name. Okay, I'll go give it a try. If it's powerful, don't worry. I'll find a place for you. Just make the land mine."

"Okay~~"

Deshan saw them go out and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, Princess, where are you going?"

Jiang Li waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay, I'm taking Father out for a ride and will be back soon. Don't tell anyone else about this."

Two figures came to the back of the mountain. Jiang Li pointed and said, "Father, just blow up there. Light it with a fire stick and throw it down. It's that simple."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

He blew on the fire stick, lit the fuse, held it in his hand, adjusted his posture, and threw it directly into the pit. With a loud bang, dust flew up and both of them were covered in dust.

"Pah, so much dirt."

The two waited for the dust to settle and looked at the huge deep pit.

Jiang Li said proudly, "Father, what do you think? Is what I made this time better than the previous Silver Moon Sword? If someone dares to come to Qi Kingdom in the future, we will use the catapult to kill people. It will definitely be very lethal."

Emperor Ming nodded, wiped the dust off his face, and said excitedly: "Very good, haha, God will not abandon me, Li'er you are really amazing, is this thing easy to make, otherwise I will send someone to learn from you."

"Make more, what do you think?"

"Father, even if this thing can be made, are you sure you don't want to keep it in the palace? If spies from other countries find out, they can just start a fire and the entire palace will cease to exist. We might all be killed in the explosion."

Hearing her say this, Emperor Ming couldn't help but shudder: "No, it can't be kept in the palace. How about this, you go outside the palace to make it, and keep the finished product outside the palace. Give me the recipe."

Jiang Li looked at the ambition in his eyes and felt his heart sink: "Father, you are not thinking of using this thing to attack other countries and unify the world."

Emperor Ming said proudly: "Why not?"

"Haha, father, it is important for a man to know himself. Can you stop flattering yourself? This thing looks powerful, but that is for ordinary people. Have you forgotten that the big country has its own venerables?"

"It is far beyond the ability of ordinary people. You want to fake someone's death, but it is impossible. I am afraid that by then, Qi will be besieged by several countries and divided up in a minute. I am afraid that you, my father, will only end up being hanged at the city gate."

Jiang Li's eyes were full of contempt. Is this person crazy? How can he be so naive? The supernatural beings in this world are not as powerful as those in the apocalypse.

That's not something an ordinary person can handle. There must be something wrong with their IQ.

Emperor Ming shuddered, and his fiery heart calmed down. He thought secretly, and after he figured it out, he calmed down instantly, hung his head, and looked a little depressed.

"Alright, Father, the reason I brought you here to test the landmines is to tell you that it's not that we don't have the power to fight back, but that's limited to fighting back. We don't have the ability to attack others."

"Especially during a siege. If people knew that Qi had landmines, do you think they would be afraid and want to destroy Qi?"

Jiang Li snorted coldly: "This is just like how my father is afraid of the Mohist School. If you are afraid of the military power, then other countries will naturally be afraid of the Qi Kingdom, so the matter of the landmines must not be publicized."

"Otherwise, Father, just think about which part of the city wall looks good. That will be where you will be hanged in the future."

Emperor Ming's face twitched, and he said unhappily: "I was just talking casually, not really doing it. How can you, little girl, curse my father?"

"No, I just like to tell the truth. I want to warn you in advance to prevent you from making mistakes that cannot be undone. It is too difficult to unify the country. It will take many years of national strength to build up."

"Being quiet is better than anything else. If you have the strength, you should hide it so that you can resist in the future. This is better than anything else."

Jiang Li looked around, flew up the tree, and came down after a while. He said confidently: "Father, I want to make a mine, but it is not appropriate in the harem. If it takes too long, people will notice my movements."

"This place... is quite nice. It's deserted and uninhabited. Even if something blows up here, no one will be able to hear it. From now on, this place will be given to me. I will take good care of the mines I make."

Emperor Ming readily agreed: "Okay, Li'er, since you have this ability, then don't run around anymore and make more treasures. This way, when Qi State becomes stronger, you won't be afraid of being bullied by others."

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave the materials to you, Father."

"Okay, tell me what you need."

Jiang Li turned his head, a gleam of triumph in his eyes. If he could squeeze a little out of his father, then he would. Why bother paying for it himself? If he really calculated it, the cost of the landmines was not low.

After Emperor Ming was sent back, he immediately sent people to find the materials according to the list, dig a secret passage, and send the materials up the mountain through the secret passage. In this way, it would not be easily known by others.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Li was busy making mines in the mountains every day. There were already piles of mines in the space, at least hundreds of them. After calculating the time, he decided to go back to the palace to take a look.

To prevent the imperial concubine from doing anything weird and hurting the queen mother. Alas, what a pity, I can't just kill the imperial concubine, otherwise it would save me a lot of trouble.

Chaoyang Palace

The beauty looked at the person who had suffered so much and felt so distressed: "Princess, where have you been again? Did you not eat well? How come you have lost so much weight?"

"Yes, I eat well, so I don't feel thin. Maybe I've been working more, so my muscles have become firmer. It's okay, I'll be back after I take care of myself."

"Well, I'll go get you some food."

Jiang Li grabbed a handful of dried fruits, put them in his mouth, and grimaced at the sourness.

The beauty brought the food and filled the table. She said happily, "Princess, please eat. His Majesty has specially instructed the imperial kitchen to give you ten times the portion."

"...Haha, father is really considerate."

"You guys sit down and eat too. It's boring for me to eat alone. There's no outsider here. Sit down quickly. Is there anything going on with my mother?"

Bi Yue closed the door and sat down: "To answer the princess, everything is normal with the Queen, but the Imperial Concubine...sent a lot of supplements recently. There is nothing wrong with the things, but this behavior is very abnormal."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, let's go and take a look at it tonight. If the imperial concubine is up to something, then we can catch her and kill her."

"...!!"
